Our Middle and High School Concert Bands provide students with the opportunity to gain proficiency on their specific instrument as well as become better overall musicians. Both ensembles performance on campus throughout the year, as well as participate in an adjudicated music festival in the spring. We also give our band students the unique opportunity to broaden their ensemble experiences by sometimes combining with our string orchestras and/or choirs. From rehearsal to performance, our goal is to make our students the best musician they can be.

In addition to our regular classes and performances, Concert Band starts its year as the VCS Crusader Band, performing at home football games, pep rallies, and our annual Non-Fire Homecoming celebration.

New! Due to popular demand, we are continuing our JAZZ BAND:

This audition-based ensemble consists of wind instruments and a rhythm section (piano, bass, drums, guitar, percussion) and will perform a mix of traditional jazz and contemporary music at concerts throughout the year. Must be able to read music. Auditions will take place in the first weeks of school, and is a year-long commitment. Keep an eye out for audition information in flyers around campus, the weekly Eblast, and the Student Life Google Classroom, or click HERE for more information.
